Abstract
This article presents a novel structure of spiking neural networks (SNNs) to simulate the joint function of multiple brain regions in handling precision physical interactions. This task desires efficient movement planning while considering contact prediction and fast radial compensation. Contact prediction demands the cognitive memory of the interaction model, and we novelly propose a double recurrent network to imitate the hippocampus, addressing the spatiotemporal property of the distribution. Radial contact response needs rich spatial information, and we use a cerebellum-inspired module to achieve temporally dynamic prediction. We also use a block-based feedforward network to plan movements, behaving like the prefrontal cortex. These modules are integrated to realize the joint cognitive function of multiple brain regions in prediction, controlling, and planning. We present an appropriate controller and planner to generate teaching signals and provide a feasible network initialization for reinforcement learning, which modifies synapses in accordance with reality. The experimental results demonstrate the validity of the proposed method.
